Hi there,
I recently graduated and I am going to apply for a PGWP(Postgraduate work permit) this week, I know I would go to Implied Status and can start working here.
My partner also has an Open work permit but it will expire by the end of December, I might not have my work permit till then!
What can I do? Can we apply to extend his work permit while I am in implied status? Or can I go to the border to get my work permit sooner?
I appreciate if you can help me, thanks

No because your partner need to attach a copy of your PGWP as part of the application to renew it. Flagpoling (go to the border for a permit and come back) is not permitted at this moment per IRCC website.
